I was in the process of changing my rotors on my 2009 TDI and ran into a roadblock with the housing for the calipers. I found out it takes a 14 mm xzn or triple square tool. I have one on order, but I was thinking how many other projects and what sizes are needed for normal maintenance. It looks like the front housing for the rotors might need a different size tool. If any guru's or backyard mechanics would be willing to let me know what sizes to have on hand it would be greatly appreciated. I plan on doing my own transmission fluid change and other maintenance projects. If you can list the mm sizes and length of the tool it would be great. Thanks.....

metalnerd also makes some very nice ones and worth every penny if your turning wrenches for a living.

for me my FLAPS had a package of 4 that's worked so far for $12 or so.
